Just finished my interview with Trevor lumley and it went brilliant. We got down to pustbourgh beach at 10:15 and did a quick recce to see were we would do the filming and also were we would get some great shots for are movie. At 11:00 we met Trevor and walked down to were we had planed to film the interview. Due to the heavy wind i had to make sure that we had some sort of shelter from it. I needed to do a sound check to see if we were sheltered enough by the wind which we were and about 11:10 we started filming.

The interview had ended by about 12:00 but we still needed to get some shots. We managed to get some great shots of using the the ipad to get some great shots of the sea and landscape. By using the tripod i got some great stills of surfers in the sea. I used different types of shots so that there would be a wide range of shots in the film. By 2:00 we had got everything we needed and headed to the wild tyme cafe in braunton. Now we had got all the filming we needed, we started to come up with ideas to how we were going to edit it, decide what music would fit with it, Title, etc.

The whole day turned out to be a great success as we got everything that we needed and more. Now i just have to get to the more technical sides of things with the movie and then eventually we will have a have our film ready. Cant wait to get stuck into it.

I've just started preparing for my documentary on the North Devon surfer Trevor Lumley and its going great. I started putting down ideas for how the film was going to go and started thinking about what i was going to ask Trevor in his interview. I also had to work out what a plan for the week so i could prepare for what needed to be done everyday, for example , what day i would be planing on filming. i had to make sure that weather would be suitable for filming in and that my interviewee would be available on that set day.

I also learnt the technical side of filming like how to use the cameras, mikes,different types of camera shots, editing, sound, etc. Then i could start deciding the different aspects of my film. What would be my style of my film, what were the different camera shots i would use and how i would make it effective on the viewer. I was tort different rules and techniques that a film has to have in it and what elements you would need in your movie that make your particular film unique. I have had a brilliant first day and have been tort many different things about film making.

i am very excited for what the rest of the week and i cant wait to see what it has in store for me.
